Playing favourites

Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

One of my favourite features in the latest issue of Inside Out was this Boerum Hill home. Old and new, found and repurposed, gentle and unpretentious. Interiors were a collaboration between the owner and Nightwood. I found these lovely photos on their website and had to share.

Perfectly imperfect

Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

Slick, high end furnishings sit perfectly within an imperfect shell, heightening the luxe through contrast with the rough. But the old room holds firm with its faded grandeur. Is the beauty in the new or in the old or the way they interact? By Brazilian design studio Gisele Taranto Arquitetura.

Colour play

More from Doherty Lynch. The Sutherland Road house. Colour plays across wall and floor, furniture pops, rugs revel, and artwork splashes. Fresh and young and bright and stylish. Australian interior design I love you!

Colour underfoot

Posted on Wed, 14 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

A limited palette of whites and greys and dark wood tones is spiced up with rich colour underfoot. Magenta and marigold yellow add dynamic riffs to this elegant yet retrained renovation, Grove Residence Two by Melbourne-based interior designers Doherty Lynch. Fabulous, fun and functional.

I want a barn with blue shutters

Posted on Tue, 13 Aug 2013 by midcenturyjo

Sometimes I hate real estate stalking. Sometimes it just makes me mad. Mad with jealousy. I want a barn with blue shutters. Old timber and quaint doors and soaring ceilings and a big fire place. I want a claw foot bath and an old vintage sink. I want to live in a quaint country town in a street called Wombat. I want this barn…. full of all my things. Lend me some money please? I’ll let you stay in the “guest wing”. Link here while it lasts.
